Six Month Outline Learning Plan

At the end of the course, I would like to go to university and complete my degree. I would also like to learn the following things that are not on the course, as I feel they will help me in the future;

PHP / Databases: Learning how to implement and control large websites using databases is something that would give me an advantage, when/if I study this at university.

Quark Express: This page layout software is more popular than Adobe’s PageMaker and is more widely used in industry. Not being able to use this may put me at a disadvantage.

I will have to fill in a UCAS form and research suitable universities that have the top-up degree course.

You may find that Adobe InDesign is as popular, if not more, than Quark. You'll find a copy on all the machines in MF18 if you want to check it out. It's more complex than PageMaker, but there are similarities too.

Sounds like a good idea. Using PHP and Databases will come in very handy if you were to create an e-commerce site with constantly changing information.

Thanks Steve, I will check it out. I think having experience in using PHP will be something that will come in useful later on.
